QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi - Thanks for your offer of help.

My printer is an Epson 2200 - so those are the "printer profile"  ink sets
that I checked in my download.  On the print page I do not have sliders to
chose percentages of this or that ink.   In fact, it seems as if the print
page that comes up when I ask the printer to "print" is not the one I should
be seeing but I don't know how to access any other  The print page that
comes up is the one that is the standard for my printer.
I'm also working with  Photoshop CS5 (not one of the ones in the
tutorial).
For the time being I have returned to my CS5 B&W settings to try to get
decent B&W prints as I'm simply not succeeding in my effort to use QuadTone.
Any suggestions are welcomed.
Janet
